[usbip-devel] usbip client connection to a custom port

[Federico F. <fed...@pa...>]

Hi everyone!
We have a setup where different machines connect (when requested) to a 
central one via SSH -R and expose a USB device via usbip. We "usbip 
attach" to this central machine and connect to the exposed USB device, 
and it works nicely.

We have a problem though: if two machines connect at the same time the 
two connections clash, since usbip sits on a single port. As a 
workaround we can configure (via SSH) the remote machines to expose 
their 3240 port each to a *different* port on the central machine, but 
then the usbip client should be able to specify which port to use... So 
I'd like to write a patch for this, basically I'd add

usbip list -r host[:port]
usbip add -h host[:port]

Would it be interesting? Should I write the patch against 
drivers/staging/usbip inside the latest kernel.org kernel?

Thanks for your attention!
